Melody has been putting her writing's about the western frontier and her travels to song. She sings with a rich vocal sound that is easy to listen to and reaches deep into your interior. She is a great story teller of her travels across the west and her light hearted approach and sense of humor for more intimate performances will leave you smiling!

Karl has contributed to arranging most of the original music they perform with great guitar licks and harmonies, his range of style in performances adds incredible flavor. Karls background and skill in computer technology has enabled them to produce studio recordings of their artistry.
